.....starting over again.

Well the past two semesters have been a partial waste of time. In an Intro to Health Careers class, I managed to barf all over my desk station at the sight of a venipuncture. (or for you medical civilians... it's just someone getting their blood drawn.) Which started me thinking that maybe this isn't the career that I should be getting into.... especially if I can't hold my bagels at the sight of a simple procedure like that. So I'm starting over. I wanted to be a chef when I was younger, and my husband is in culinary school... and that has always been a passion of mine as well. I just want to learn the baking and pastry side of things... and maybe open a tea room/bakery sometime in the future. For now, I need to add a career plan to that, something that I know I am good at and love doing. So for now, I am going to get a Pastry Culinarian Ccertificate, and work towards a degree in Hospitality, my concentration would in Event Planning. My husband and I have actually thought about starting up a business for me... in wedding planning!! I planned mine, and helped out with some friends. I love lists.... and everything wedding. I can't think of a job that I would be better at! (Well... maybe as a movie star, but until my big break happens, I need a career back up plan.) This is going to be a whole new chapter in my life, and I am excited to see where it takes me. It tacks on an extra semester of school, but I think it will be worth it. I am a little apprehensive, mainly because the medical field would have given me a lot of job security. But I really feel like I should be doing something that will make me happy. I am in for a rough semester though.... biology, math, and serve safe certifications. On the plus side.... I'm taking a basic cooking class. That should be very interesting. Here's to the future..... now I need a drink. :)
